Lots of people fish with the gear they have. Not everyone has a pole for every occasion or 3 poles just for the ditch like some of us. To me , if the gear is too light , you are going to lose the fish in 15 minutes by wear or a break off so again 15 minutes seems like a long time.

I think 5 minutes is plenty of time in most cases. But I also think 5 minutes feels like 15 sometimes when you're fighting a fish or waiting for someone to land one. I've never seen anyone take 15 minutes to land a fish in the canal. |

I agree... 5 minutes Feels like 15 when you have a big Fish on. 30lb for pluging is fine never had a problem.I use 50 for Jigging. I've had hooks bend straight before a break off. Thats why all my Plugs Have VMC. |

I apologize to one and all. Had a bad morning with honey having me --try--to help with the housework.
It's hard for me to be king with a vacuum cleaner in my hand

I'm old so it may take a little time for me to land a fish. 30# for plugging and 40 for jigging. If you're in a rush and cast over me, your line WILL be cut.

Once it's in front of you, he has it under control. That's when I just start fishing again.
I always tell the guys down-current of me when they're good to go. |

Why stop at 50?
Make it a new requirement to use atleast 100lb braid.
Make sure to bring your calipers and line diameter guide.
